Salvage and restoration. There comes a time when nature just does not
cooperate with the best of management efforts. At that time you may have to
salvage whats left, and start anew. Salvage is a very different sales effort
for forest products. Usually, the sales material is damaged, dead, or dying.
Finding a market for this material can be tricky, and incomes low. But, best
to move the material, get it out of the way for future work. Take what
income you can from the salvage, and set it aside for planting the site.

Restoration can mean a lot of work, depending on what caused the initial
damage. It may include dirt work to reshape an area, control burning to
remove the remaining dead material and for site prep, and of course
replanting

The cost would be based on the nature of the work, including outside
assistance from vendors.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
